A sad story of flight, terror and fear
Wim Opbrouck was traveling on the TGV from Straßbourg to Paris vice versa there sat an Arabic looking man. When asked to show to show his passport this man couldn't produce anything just a piece of paper. The heavily armed policeman told him that he had to leave the train at the next station. When this man had some trouble putting on his coat everybody in the cabin stopped talking all of a sudden because everybody was afraid that he was a suicide bomber. All the while Wim was thinking he ought to say something to support this man. When they finally managed to leave the cabin everybody was relieved, when suddenly a woman yelled hysterically: "His bag, he has left his bag!" So the fear returned and the man had to return to fetch his bag. And Wim couldn't still find something heartening to say to this miserable man, this sad refugee, when he heard an old woman maybe in her eighties say:"Monsieur, bonne chance, monsieur!" as the man was leaving.
